This is an open letter to all those who love me and whom I hold in slightly high regard.
I was doing a bit of cleaning in my room today and I came across a document written in my own handwriting titled "29 Things To Do Before I Die". I dont know when I wrote this, how I wrote this, if I copied it from somewhere or I was just feeling immensely full of life.
I almost cried when I read it, and I have decided that before the decade is done I will do each and every one of these things on the list. I would like all those close to me to make sure I follow through. You can also join me.
Without further ado,
- Learn to fly
- Donate a month's salary to charity
- Climb a mountain alone
- Buy a piece of original art
- Do a good deed anonymously
- Laugh everyday
- Run a marathon
- Visit every continent
- Feel the need to write love poetry
- Surprise someone by telling them how I feel
- Cry with happiness
- Meet a leader of a country
- Start a trip without any idea of the destination
- Give a child a home
- Sleep under the stars
- Leap before I look
- Defend a principle at a personal cost
- Make a speech that changes someone's life
- Be a best friend to more than one person
- Meditate
- Be present at the birth of anything
- Love as though there is no tomorrow
- Forgive someone who does not deserve it
- Work for myself
- Resign using lots of swear words
- See the northern lights
- Travel in a fighter jet
- Swim with a dolphin
- Go aboard naval destroyer
The ones I have done are underlined and number 29, has been done thanks to one of my great friends Saadia Qayyum who will probably never read this post. Follow her on twitter @SaadiaQayyum
Here's hoping for an interesting decade!
Cheers,
Z
